sounds like exhaust might be hitting something ?.Give it a shake from the back with engine off,see if you can hear anything.Do it cold obviously unless you have an a+e fetish !.

My headsheild is a bit loose and rattles now and then. You should be able to grab it from the engine bay and give it a wee shoogle.
